always wondered this.
How do you cut out something like just the head as is done in that pic. get all the hair and everything and manage to paste onto a different picture without also getting some of the background from the original picture onto the one your pasting (I am assuming its being pasted) as well as getting the scale right from one pic to the next?
I use the, uh I think its called lasso tool. After you highlight the head / hair, cut, create a new layer and paste on top of the original.
From here you can use the eraser to clean stuff up....the lasso is fairly accurate, but it will pick up some of the background... which will blend in just fine when you paste on top & erase.
